• Functional localization, for organizations with different business units or areas that have varying business requirements or processes
• Master data management, for organizations that need to distribute but maintain control of business data in certain ways

• Security and privacy, for organizations that need complex control of distribution or access to data
• Scalability, for organizations with workload requirements that exceed or are prohibitively costly to host within a single system
